根据美国加州圣克拉拉县发布的公告，2月6日与17日在该县出现的两例死亡病例，目前被发现是美国境内最早死于新冠病毒感染的病例。此前，美国首例新冠病毒感染死亡病例被认为是2月26日在华盛顿州出现的一例死亡病例。

Two people who died in California in early and mid-February were confirmed Tuesday as coronavirus cases. The first of those deaths came weeks before what was thought to be the first COVID-19 fatality in the United States. The earliest US death attributed to the new coronavirus was previously thought to have been on February 26 in Kirkland, Washington.

当地时间周二 Autopsies on the two individuals who died at home on February 6 and February 17 showed they succumbed to COVID-19, the Santa Clara County coroner said, after receiving confirmation from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

在收到美国疾病控制和预防中心的确认后，美国加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉县的验尸官说，对2月6日和2月17日在家死亡的两名美国人的尸体解剖显示，他们因新冠病毒感染死亡。
